Hot water systems are appliances designed to heat water for various domestic uses, such as bathing, cooking, and cleaning. They can be powered by electricity, gas, or solar energy, and come in different types, including storage tanks and continuous flow systems. The choice of system often depends on the household's hot water needs and energy efficiency preferences. In a typical hot water system, water is heated and stored in a tank until needed. When a tap is turned on, hot water flows out while cold water is drawn in to be heated. Regular maintenance is essential to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the system, as well as to prevent issues like sediment buildup or leaks.
